But, I tried it out (pkg from aur) and it seems very rough. The desktop comes up but when I try launching an app, displays an error dialog and when I close the dialog, it froze my system (I could not even switch ttys)! I didn't do much testing through different compile-options, though. -- Johnchfr (talk) 11:17, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

It seems they're working on it, so it's worth being documented here, together with any relevant note about the state of the implementation. We don't decide what's good and what's bad for users here, we just give objective information to let the users make their own decisions. -- Kynikos (talk) 00:02, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

since it's years later now, a quick update: enlightenment is usable (like gnome) with few minor issues --Ubone (talk) 14:22, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Weston - Keyboard Shortcuts

Replacing i3way with sway

Hi there. I've gone ahead and replaced the i3way table row with a row about sway instead. i3way is vaporware with 2 years of radio silence, and sway is actually usable today. SirCmpwn (talk) 13:29, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

dbus

On weston 1.12, application using dbus cannot be launched normally. I've added a workaround to launch on the troubleshooting section.

weston usage

Folks at #wayland told me weston should be started from tty with just weston if using logind, apparently weston-launch is a workaround(?) if it's not present. Ubone (talk) 15:49, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

From man weston

When weston is started as the first windowing system (i.e. not under X nor under another Wayland server), it should be done with the command weston-launch to set up proper privileged access to devices. If your system supports the logind D-Bus API and the support has been built into weston as well, it is possible to start weston with just weston.
